I know we all can follow Mesut on Facebook and have probably seen this, but if this isn't pure Mesut-osity, I just don't know what is!

"Noch wenige Stunden bis zum Anpfiff, ich bin wirklich hungrig.
Only a few hours left until kickoff, i am so damn hungry.
Mesut"
( oh Mesut... )

And because
jenny_jenkins seems to be a really nice person, that's what I'm going to do now.
But before that, um ... hi. I've been a fan of football and my national team since the World Cup 06 for many, convoluted reasons, but somehow my brain was predominantly occupied withthe future ruler of the world my darling captain Philipp Lahm until this spring. Everything changed in March (for reasons which have yet to be discovered), and since then I've been to very scary places in my quest to find fanfic, drooled over pics, watched some nerve-wracking games, and ultimately spent the last ten waking hours combing through this comm, giving myself a Mesut-high. It's quite nice as you'll all know ^^.
[All pics in this entry are shamelessly stolen from either this comm itself, google search, or any and all blogs on tumblr with Özil in their title. I'm sorry, I didn't keep track of their sources. :/ ]

A Bromantic Print Interview, Two Videos, Gifs, & Training News

This interview, which was one of two sent to me yesterday by reader Jose and which I have translated from n-tv.de/sport, has been heavily abridged by me as I was translating it so that the interesting things about Sergio Ramos, Karim Benzema, Jose Mourinho, Joachim Loew, Philipp Lahm, Sami Khedira and Cristiano Ronaldo remain. The rest was the usual repetitive fluff or were things that have come up in interviews over the past week.

A feature has been done of Mesut's school with an eye to the Euro Stars it has produced - specifically: Neuer and Mesut - neither of whom were scholastic trail-blazers, it appears! His teachers were interviewed and a beautiful and affectionate portrait of Mesut as student is the result. Teachers always seem to make very observant, and very earnest ("we are so glad he's kept his feet on the ground") interview subjects!
The most interesting revelation in the feature however: it seems the school was very important in getting him noticed by Schalke. As will be revealed he didn't have the physique or athleticism the club's scouts wanted, so they had ignored him. He was so good in school matches however...
It’s excerpted and translated by me,
jenny_jenkins. Less interesting details and the entire beginning and end of the article was cut out. To read it in the original: HERE IS THE LINK

Mesut Displays The Usual Refreshing Lack of Modesty & Is Shockingly Muy Feliz


One of the lovely things about being an Ozil fan - there's no false modesty from our bug-eyed, crinkly-eared hero! Any excuse at all and the lad removes his shirt! Also: he looks so sweet with the post-game after-glow and a certain amount of alcohol content in his blood-stream!
And it turns out he knows how to dance (sort of...)
Most importantly though - he has acquired a new nickname! "Sea Bream" or Besugo - bestowed by Iker Casillas, who was caught shouting it at him during the match against Sevilla and used it on Facebook for the following picture:

Bayern Radio Pranks Mesut Özil - With (Unintentionally?) Hilarious Results!
When listening to this recording of Antenne Bayern's Johannes Ott calling up Mesut pretending to be National Team coach Jogi Löw, all I could think of was Jan Delay's comment on meeting Mesut that he was such "a nicely brought up fellow."
It begins with "Jogi" fooling the receptionist - who is thrilled to hear his voice on the other end and puts him through. Plainly he would have been happy to prank Sami Khedira as well ("one or the other will do just fine!" he tells the receptionist) but Mesut happened to be available...
(Translation from 0:40)
( "Just a bit of fun..." )

Holger Badstuber - Bayern's comedy centre-back and German national teammate to Mesut and Sami - is looking forward to meeting up with "Mesut Ozil and Sami Khedira" in the semi-final.

Cheeky brat!
Madrid thrashed Apoel Nicosia yesterday, so Madrid will meet Bayern for the 21st time in European competition. No two teams from different leagues have met up so often.

A Look Back: Mesut Talks at SomeLength About Life In Madrid

(Originally posted in the old
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
I've had several requests to re-post this press-conference translation after Mesut pointedly declined to discuss life in Madrid in his last press-conference. This post contains the translation of his press-conference given on March 23 (Oliver Bierhoff also attended). The Youtube video of Mesut's portion of the press conference has been taken down.
It was an unusually charming press-conference - with the press-pack behaving like fan-boys ("How much time do you spend with Sami Khedira!")
Following the press conference are the press reviews - which were many but not varied! The press was charmed beyond words by Mesut's shyness and the critical reaction was amusing!

Karim Benzema injured for the big game tomorrow, ditto for Lukas Podolski - that means there's no one to cling to Mesut's side making sad puppy-dog eyes this week or to openly and aggressively nibble on his ears!

What is this wetness on my cheek?
Sami, at any rate, seems entirely content with this state of affairs! Quite frankly, he looks like the cat that got the cream!

Mesut & Mourinho - A Relationship in Quotes & Pictures!

August 2010 (From Mesut's first interview on the day of his arrival at Madrid with Real Madrid TV)
Mesut: I’m happy, naturally, to be here – but the deciding factor was that the coach wanted me. And that’s why I’m here, because I think he’s the best coach in the world and I can develop under him and I’m happy with my task here.
